TODAY WAS GREAT!!! Mood
Saturday, May 3, 2008 | A Positive story

Drove to Charlotte yesterday and met my daughter, who lives in Atlanta to run in the 5K together.  Charlotte, NC, is halfway between Raleigh and Atlanta.  We had an awesome evening together, laughing, talking about the wedding, and just hanging out.  Walked/ran the race this morning.  It was tough for me, but I finished and am proud of myself for doing it.  We are meeting again in another six weeks to do another 5K.  I feel very inspired to really get back into running shape. 

 

It's been a good week for me in general.  I got through the oral presentation with a 94.  My final for this course is due on Thursday.  This Monday, I start another class.  For the next few weeks, I will be taking two courses at that same time...one on-line and one seated.  Busy, busy times. 

 

Monday will be our system conversation over to SAP at work.  Who knows how that will go...but I feel sure the week will be very crazy with work in addition to everything going on with school. 

 

I am finally off all the anti-depressants -- Lexapro and Wellbrutrin and feeling so, so good and very happy.  I am so not the same person as I was a year ago.  Will it last....I can only take it one day at a time to find out!

    It's such a good thing - your special relationship with your daughter. I love reading about you two! There's such a special bond between a daughter and mother that is for sure.
    I am hoping the best for you w/ giving the antipressants the boot. I so hope the berry best for you in your schooling and in your life too. I am so grateful to you for starting WHAT I DID RIGHT TODAY! It gives me something positive to look forward to everyday and that's truly a blessing!

    Hi, I am happy for you and that was great that you were able to join your daughter in the race. Its great to get off that antidepression medicine. I wish I could. I know that is doing me very good with my weight and all. I am loving the idea that I can have the close relationship that I have with my daughter now especially now that she as a little boy and he is my joy in life. I hope we can talk soon.Take care!!! xxxooo

    exercise helps greatly. With my back pain I still go to the ywca at least 3 times a week. Even if I have to take a pain pill. I stop often but feel lots better mentally!
